सध्या मध्यमवर्गीय माणसाच्या अपेक्षा प्रमाणाबाहेर वाढल्या आहेत. ह्याला खतपाणी घालणाऱ्या वित्तसंस्था, राजकारणी लोक, व्यापारी, भ्रष्ट अधिकारी, शिक्षणाचा व्यापार करणाऱ्या शिक्षण संस्था, सावकार ह्यांच्यामुळे सामाजिक जीवनात निर्माण होणारे पाश माणसाला कसे गुंतवत जातात आणि त्यातून सुटका करण्याचा मार्ग माणूस स्वतःच कसा मिटवत जातो याची ही कथा आहे.

पदु दामले आणि त्याची पत्नी सीमा हे एक मध्यमवर्गीय दाम्पत्य. सुस्तिथित आणि समाधानी असलेला पदु हा महत्वाकांक्षी आणि प्रसिद्ध व्यक्ती व्हावा यासाठी त्याची पत्नी सीमा आजूबाजूच्या लोकांचे खरे-खोटे जाणून न घेता, त्यांच्या यशाला भुलून पदूने असेच प्रयत्न करावेत यासाठी त्याच्या मागे लागत असते. कोणताही कुडमुडा भविष्यकार माणसाचा भविष्यकाळ सांगू शकत नाही, तसेच त्यांनी सांगितलेल्या कोणत्याही अशास्त्रीय खर्चिक उपायांमुळे माणसाला कर्तृत्व मिळत नाही. कोणतेही अवाजवी प्रेम कितीही उत्कटतेने केलेले असले तरीही त्याचे परिणाम भयावह असतात.

खऱ्या शत्रूपेक्षा मोहात पडणारे मित्र ह्यांची संगत ही कोणत्याही माणसाच्या धनाढ्य असो किंवा गरीब, हुशार असो किंवा निर्बुद्ध, ऱ्हासाला कारणीभूत ठरतात. जवळ असलेले सर्व मित्र नसतात आणि लांब असलेले सर्व शत्रू नसतात ही समाजाची व्याख्या ह्यांना उमगलेली नसते.

ह्या कथेमध्ये ह्या सगळ्यांचे चित्रण करण्यात आले आहे. अशा प्रकारचे 'पाश' स्वतःभोवती जखडून घेऊन, त्यातून कुणीतरी येऊन आपली सुटका करेल अशी भाबडी आशा ठेवणाऱ्या माणसांच्या व्यक्तिमत्वाचे चित्रण करण्याचा हा प्रयत्न आहे.

Story at a glance: (Source: Star Pravaah website)

Anandi, is the epitome of grace and beauty. She is the only daughter of Sriram Gokhale. She is a 20-year-old beautiful girl. Inspite of being beautiful, her marriage is not getting fixed, as she is blind. Anandi has done her education through Braille.

Anandi was born in Gokhale family after a along time. At present they are old when Anandi is grown up. They are concerned about Anandi's marriage, otherwise who will take care of her after them. No young guy from a good family is ready to marry her because of blindness.

Prakash Kalbhor, Sriram Gokhale's friend visits him at his residence in Mumbai, Sriram shares his problem relating to Anandi with Prakash. Prakash starts looking for a groom for Anandi and in a fortnight he finds one. The prospective is groom is from Mumbai and he is the eldest son of Shri Ashok Paranjpe. The date for two families meeting gets fixed, and happiness spreads in Sriram's place.

On the decided date the families met, Sriram and his wife are happy seeing a good looking young lad. But Prakash introduces him as the boy's younger brother Sudhir and next to him is the boy standing Vinayak who has come to see Anandi. Vinayak is a 35-year-old man with dark complexion. Seeing this, Gokhale and his wife are disappointed.

Vinayak has crossed 35 years of age, there could be two reasons to his single status so far - it could be because of his looks or him being busy in his business. Vinayak likes Anandi and gives his consent for marriage. But Gokhale and wife ask for some more time to make up their mind. Prakash convinces them that the boy is from a well to do family and even the horoscopes of Vinayak and Anandi are matching. Hearing all this Sriram Gokhale and wife do have no option but to say yes to the proposal with a heavy heart. Anandi has no idea about her prospective husband's look, age etc. She has agreed to marry Vinayak as her parents want so.

Vinayak and Aanandi's marriage get solemnized. The entire Paranjpe family is happy due to this auspicious marriage ceremony except one person that is Manjiri, wife of Vinayak's younger brother Sudhir. Manjiri never wanted this marriage to happen, as there may be issue of Vinayak, which will result in split of family's property and her ambition to see Ayush, her son, being the sole inheritor gets shattered.

On the bridal night, Sudhir sees Vinayak walking up and down in front his own room. Sudhir enquires about the reason of his restlessness, Vinayak then comes out with the lurking self doubt and fear. If Anandi comes to know of his ugly look once she gets her eyesight back then she may leave him, which Vinayak doesn't want as he had fallen in love with her at the first sight. He feels that he has taken advantage of her blindness and got married. Vinayak feels guilty. Sudhir tries to explain Vinayak that they need each other as the circumstances are such. Hearing Sudhir's logic Vinayak gets confidence and breathes a sigh of relief to enter his room. Manjiri was hearing the discussion of the two brothers from a distance and at the same time her mind was planning for the future.

Next day, in the morning Vinayak comes out of his room, seeing him some of the family members pass some naughty comments, he was about to get out of the house but Manjiri comes in his way and conveys to him that Panditji has advised not go for any issue for a year's time, if a son/daughter is born in a year's time then possibly it may be a blind baby. Hearing this Vinayak gets a shock and fails to understand how to react to the situation. Manjiri is pleased that she has hit the right spot.

Vinayak becomes indifferent towards Anandi, he keeps her at a distance. She is at pain realising his indifference and feels that he is staying away, because of her blindness. Seeing all this Manjiri is still not satisfied and schemes to add fuel to the fire.

One fine morning Manjiri rushes into the house in a very happy mood, the family members try to understand the reason of her pulsating heart and the face radiating with happiness. She reveals that she has shown the report of Anandi to Dr. Bhosle and according to Dr. Bhosle Anandi can get back her eye sight. All in the family are over joyed hearing this good news but a line of tension crosses Vinayak's face. A feeling of insecurity sips into him, he realises that Anandi will leave him the day she gets her eye sight back. And Manjiri has very quietly read the on going trail of thoughts in Vinayak's mind.

It's all about the fear of Vinayak, imaging himself as the unhappy husband once Anandi gets eye sight. The story is all about Anandi's shattered dreams.

Hello Inspector

Drama : Hello Inspector

Language : Marathi

Production : Suyog

Writer : Chetan Datar

Director : Vijay Kenkre

Music : ?

Release year : 1996

No of shows : 60

Genre : Suspense/Drama

Sunil's Character : Mohak - Sunil plays a character with a negative shade in this play.

Songs from the play : ?

Cast :
Sunil Barve, Bhakti Barve-Indamdaar, Vijay Kenkre, Virendra Pradhan, Kavita Laad, Virendra Pradhan, Arun Nalawade.

Story at a glance: (Source: Indian Express - 15 Jan 1999)

The curtain opens to a charmingly-crafted set of a rich family's living room. An engagement is in progress, with cognac and affections much in evidence. The family of four, with the new son-in-law, is in a boisterous mood. But the euphoria is dented by an unexpected visitor, a police inspector. In his rather pushy manner, he announces that a girl died recently after consuming pesticide and he has every reason to believe that this family is involved in the tragedy.

What follows is an excellent unravelling of the plot that traverses two acts, ripping off the masks donned by these family members, reducing them from high-society somebodies to the bare human beings that they are, with the same failings and attitudes. The sequences weave around each character, changing the mood to one of tension, suspicion, anger and frustration. The basic tendency of humans to defend themselves falls in line with the writer's intention of exposing the family's weaknesses. The falling apart of the family, their succumbing to the overpowering onslaught of the inspector, brings to fore the gullibility of even the indomitable.

This is a story about a simple devoted middle aged housewife who listens & follows every word of her family which misuses her in all ways & makes her serve them. On one fine day her close female friend changes her life entirely by giving her an outer magic trick (Or is it some magic already present in her ?)

Mrs.Arti Mangalkar (played by Neelakanti patekar) stays with her family in one of the prime locations in Mumbai. Her husband, two sons, daughter-in-law & a daughter take her for granted. Her life has become miserable & she has no standing in her own house. (incidently she is the owner of the house). Things take a turn for the better when she meets an old friend (Daya Dongre). The friend conducts an experiment in which their souls (or rather personalities) get swapped. The protagonist becomes bold & oozes with confidence. She changes the way the house looks at her & starts setting things straight.

There are other sub-plots involving Ashok Saraf (daughter's lover: brilliant as usual) & one involving an orphan Sachin & Varsha Usgaonkar.

Sarang is not a doctor actually, but for the sake of his Love, Rupa, he has assumed the role. Today is the D day. Sarang's wealthy aunty Jamnamasi is going to visit Sarang and his betrothed for the first time. But instead appears Narang at the door. Narang is an artist by temperament and a parasite by profession. Narang soon realizes that Sarang could not have become a doctor and immediately makes this his own house. He even calls up a model coordinating agency to send a girl to pose for his paintings.

Tanya, the model comes and Rupa misunderstands that Sarang has called this girl. The hell breaks loose and she leaves. This is the most importunate time for Rupa's mother Rama to come to see her would be son-in-law, but she does. Tanya, with the intention of helping Sarang, poses as the would-be-daughter-in-law of this house. Narang saves the situation posing as Dr. Sarang, Rama's would-be-son-in-law. And then Tanya's father Pratapbhai appears on the stage, who knows Dr. Sarang very well.

This happens on the 26th of July 2005 in Mumbai. The rain is pouring like cats and dog… entire Mumbai is flooded. All these characters are stuck in this house. There is a great confusion as to who is courting whom and who is seen with whom at night, till all lies collapse over the heads of the characters. But all's well that ends well…

Drama : Itha Havay Kunala Prem

Language : Marathi

Production : Suyog Productions

Writer : Ratnakar Matkari

Director : Mangesh Kadam

Music : ?

Release year : 2005

Genre : Comedy/Drama

Sunil's Character : ?

Songs from the play : ?

Cast :
Sunil Barve, Kshiti Jog, Rajan Bhise, Swati Chitnis, Vaibhav Mangle, Chinmayee Sumit.

Story at a glance: (Source: Mumbai Theatre Guide)

The drama begins with an episode in which a producer approaches a playwright for a new play. The playwright expresses his inability to write meaningless comedies. The heroine who has accompanied the producer insists that the writer writes a woman-oriented script so that she would get a chance to play the leading character. The writer somehow manages to extricate himself by promising that he will write a revue about relationships.

The writer then embarks on a creative journey by writing about ‘Hriday’ who is seeking a committed relationship with ‘Sarika’. Hriday’s friend ‘Guru’ too is on the same trail. At the same time, an unassuming relationship is being formed between two more characters- ‘Sheena’ and ‘Vicky’, figments of the writer’s imagination.

Now these two characters are compelled to explore new and unusual spaces in Mumbai where they can simply talk without falling prey to the moral police of the city. Their efforts at finding novel spaces leads from one funny situation to the other. Other themes such as matchmaking, urban influences on relationships, etc are also touched upon by the writer.

The writer finally comes to the conclusion that relationships are fragile. They need to be carefully nurtured and developed. If that is not done, then any relationship can crumble under pressure. Presented as a fast paced revue, ITHE HAVAY KUNALA PREM focuses on the need of strong, meaningful and lasting relationships.
